Jennifer Lopez says son is love of her life

Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez says her five-year-old son Max is the "love of her life".

She became emotional after receiving a love note from him.

The "American Idol" judge was reduced to tears after finding a handwritten note from Max on her bed after returning home from a hard day's work recently.

The 44-year-old even shared a picture of the note on her Instagram page, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

It read: "I'll love you beyond forever mom."

Talking about her son's gesture, she said on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Wednesday: "It just made my whole life. I'll cry right now. Stop it! Oh my God."

"'Beyond forever' ... that's the line, that's it. You know, I came home, and it was on my bed and then I opened it and just left it there. It was in a big manila envelope, a yellow envelope, and it said, 'To mom, from Max.' And I opened it, and I was like, 'Oh my God.'"

The "On the Floor" hitmaker, who is currently dating backup dancer Casper Smart, went on to declare: "My son, that's the love of my life right there."
